Bojan Tomić

Bojan Tomić is a Senior Research Fellow at the University of Belgrade's Institute for Multidisciplinary Research, Department of Materials Science, where he has worked since 2011 progressing from Research Trainee to his current position. His interdisciplinary work bridges scientific analysis with humanities, focusing on Serbian academic traditions and cultural heritage preservation.

His educational background includes a Doctor of Science in History and Philosophy of Natural Sciences and Technology (2015), Master's (2007), and Bachelor's (2003) in Applied Physics and Informatics from the University of Belgrade's Faculty of Physics. These qualifications underpin his unique approach to complex systems in non-traditional contexts.

Tomić's research centers on the historical evolution of multidisciplinarity in Serbian academia, with specialized focus on scientific analysis of Orthodox iconography through illumination physics and chemical composition. He applies complexity theory to art authentication while investigating accessibility frameworks for persons with disabilities in Serbian information systems. His work consistently connects historical scientific philosophy with contemporary technological challenges.

His publication trends reveal a distinct interdisciplinary signature: mathematical methods (wavelet analysis, fractal geometry) applied to cultural artifacts, historical studies of scientific concepts like holography, and policy-focused disability research. This triangulation of complex systems theory, art conservation science, and social policy forms a cohesive scholarly identity centered on Serbian academic heritage.

His scientific recognition includes:

• IMSI Annual Award (2017) for multidisciplinary research
• Regional Award 'Starec Isaija' (2004)
• EU Project Funding Certification from SASA (2012)

As project coordinator for 'Light in Church Art' (2008-2011) and participant in the national 'Theory and Practice of Science in Society' initiative (2010-2019), he secured funding for culturally significant research while serving as reviewer for journals like Science & Education. His grant work demonstrates expertise in merging EU funding mechanisms with Serbian Orthodox Church conservation needs.

Within the Institute for Multidisciplinary Research, Tomić operates at the convergence of materials science, art conservation, and philosophy teams, developing methodologies for non-invasive analysis of religious artifacts while mentoring junior researchers in historical epistemology frameworks.
